Oh hello, I am MysteriousLad.
Do you know when I was an OP player? When I wasn't in WWN and massclaims were legit good? Yea I miss the days I could force town to claim, rout out the mafia, and win the game for free day 3. Sometimes without being killed!
Senpai HPD notices me everyday when I'm town, do no scum play, and still get lynched day 1.
Anyway, it's time to go and ask people to claim and go lynch those who don't with my high-skill OP role.

That goes for a lot of things for me haha. Actually that's usually what my thoughts/private conversations with outsiders look like if I get worked up about a mafia game. >_>
I'm just very stoic posting because I aren't confident attempting crowd control and like in this game, just straight out lying. I just should've rolled with it, but everybody had/was claiming very invasive roles.

oh yeah hawke, next time don't make every mafia member able to block or falsify inspections

I have to agree. While there was some redirection available, the torturer being able to block, and if the mafia is even slighty lucky, get a additional kill, and also having a framer who´s also able to protect mafia from being outed, and well, godfather, is.. excessive. The town has two instances of powerful roles(12B listening in on the mafia would break them instantly, and Kir figuring out one powerful potion function would have been major), but the first requires luck, and the second is very trial-and error. The mafia already had numbers on their sides, and their abilities needed little luck. Because a day 1 lynch was called off, they could easily distrupt the rest night 1 and secure chaos, and eventually a win.

However, if Satel had been killed, HPD would have his hands free to check others, and having more time would eventually result in one of the town roles working their magic. It was a entertaining game regardless, but overall the special abilities were too powerful for the scale of the game.

...and it goes on like that...

Note to self: next time take Deoxy way more seriously.

Deoxy basically says don't trust no one, and it isn't worth trying to puzzle out roles. With that philosophy, lynches are going to be nothing but shooting in the dark. I also think the philosophy of "lynch fingerpointers" is awful too, because it basically punishes people for trying to get anything done. It turned out to be correct this time around, but that was basically just luck, that the most absurd outcome turned out to be true.

Yeah, I was wrong, but Deoxy was wrong too for most of the game until she was being lynched (which gave her one hell of a clue).

I honestly regret nothing (well besides not lynching Satel when I had the chance, but I've already covered that), and if the same situation was to come up again, would do the same thing.

I still think that she actually wanted to try this game, but because of the instant dismissal she gets thrown at her for everything she says she stops caring about it.

Maybe, you know, you should give her a chance.

If she wanted to try the game maybe she shouldn't have been so mean about just about everything she said <_<

I wouldn't have been quite as quick to dismiss her (though I really do think we have 100% opposite playstyles) if she actually said more than 1 or 2 lines at a time, and if those lines hadn't been filled with insults.

her first post was lol lynch hpd, second post was good and i actually agreed with it, but by the third post... well...

Yeah, no wonder she has a less-than-stellar reputation if she responds like that to these exact words.

I mean, think about it a little, why is she never mafia?

MysteriousLad be like:

People tend to gravitate towards people they have real trust/distrust for based on past mafia games, especially early game when there has been no evidence. (so yes, I'm HPD's lapdog, deal with it.) This is natural.

The only way to get people less dismissive of you is to well, play well, and even if you lose, people note you pulled off a good town/mafia. I'm slowly clawing myself out of a ''the quiet one who's mostly there for filler'' reputation myself. It seems to be working. I guess have my own room to direct rage behind the curtains helps with that too. >_>

Deoxy has the combined factors of the lynch HPD gimmick, not being very verbose, and she was involved in Treed's trickster ways quite often. Maybe we all should try to be a bit more neutral in early game, RNGgod doesn't care who you are.

Also, walls of text make you trustworthy? I think mysteriouslad broke the record since this game only lasted 2 days. I said it in quicktopic: he's inexperienced, and often makes silly mistakes, but underestimate his intellect at your own peril. Especially since he got to be mafia this time, he's naturally observant, and well, he's able to produce a lot of text without any major slipups.

I've noticed that those who stay fairly quiet tend to get ignored. Q7 hardly posted and no one really mentioned him except in lists. Your playstyle also lets you be ignored by the town. The only reason you died was because you were one of the few who hadn't claimed, and they had a good chance of killing the doctor because no one claimed it yet. Hell, in UPick mafia, I stayed as quiet as I could and no one took notice of me until the end.

Doesn't have to be walls of text, but some explanation for why you feel someway makes you seem more reasonable, or even noticeable.

I tend to wall of text because my strategy has always been to explain every step of why I feel a way. I figure that way people can follow along with my thoughts and feelings and even if they don't agree, they can understand where I'm coming from. That said, I really did feel like I posted too much and too lengthy this time, and I chalk that up to pressure from the high stakes of the game, pressure from my midterm, and a general lack of sleep. In general I write waaaay too much and I try to cut back on what I say, but I still want to cover everything that's relevant.

And Hawke, what I'm saying is that Deoxy started with the insults before she had posted anything to be dismissed, hawke. The only thing of worth she posted before her third post was that "no lynch sucks" and people actually agreed with her. But then she said airnike was a piece of crumpets (not posting crumpets, a piece of crumpets) and generally started dismissing everything the town was doing, which is ok but she offered no suggestions on how to proceed, which isn't.

in other words, deoxy wasn't being dismissed until her behavior caused her to be dismissed.

And to be fair I didn't want to pressure Q7 because he clearly has been having a bad couple of days. I figured he was happier being ignored >_>
